The "Tree of Life" from Fuchs and Askew
It was an appeal to Ernst Fuchs, who nudged the emergence of the "Tree of Life": Originally the sculpture was intended as a reward for people around the world who have made high quality contributions to the preservation of forests. Finally, when the first drafts were made, the client withdrew its request. Fuchs decided to make the artwork yet finished and asked Askew to assist it in the implementation. At the end in the execution flowed so many common ideas in the sculpture that it both now considered as common work.
The "tree of life" meet the ecological ideas with both artists typical mythological fantastic motifs. The ancient symbol of fertility and life abundance appears already in the ancient Near Eastern art and runs through the history of art through the entire ancient world. He is a frequently appearing motif itself in Indian art. As a life (and in the Christian interpretation since the Middle Ages also: the Resurrection) feierndes symbol, he has fascinated the artists of all time - also the modern, think only of Klimt's famous implementation in the Stoclet frieze.
Fuchs and Askew remain figuratively-concretely in their lives tree: The trunk grows out, as a symbol of maternal, life-giving, a female torso, which is surrounded all over with rich foliage.
